Kindling Inc. is looking for a talented PHP developer to join our team.

Kindling is a small firm of design–driven, passionate technologists who work in midtown Manhattan. We’re a product shop featuring a handful of interrelated products for business and enterprise centered around innovation and collaboration.

At Kindling you’ll be part of a tight–knit, supportive, creative, collaborative team that is passionate about building great user experiences, learning new skills and techniques, and doing the right thing.

You definitely:

• Are a smart, motivated, focused person who enjoys crafting great software
• Have focus and adaptability in spades
• When building software, you tend to have the user’s experience in mind
• Have a strong understanding of PHP
• Have a strong understanding of MySQL
• Have experience with Javascript
• Have a broad range of interests when it comes to development
• Have a bias towards shipping software. You understand technical debt and why it is sometimes necessary
• Have an in–depth understanding of programming as a craft. This doesn’t necessarily mean a BS in Computer Science or anything, but if you’ve got one, great
• Are either in or moving to NYC. If you’re living in the United States, you are qualified to work here without sponsorship. (Sorry, we can’t currently sponsor H1–B candidates.)
• Are a good communicator and enjoy working with a team of smart folks. If you’re a cowboy coder, look elsewhere.

It’d be nice if you:

• Have experience developing with MVC architecture.
• Understand and enjoy HTTP and RESTful web applications.
• Have experience developing an API and working with APIs.
• Have experience scaling websites.
• Have experience with automated testing.
